Mick Mulvaney says Jan. 6 hearings ‘absolutely’ hurt Trump’s 2024 chances

Former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said his ex-boss may have too much baggage to win another presidential election if he decides to run in 2024.

Mr. Mulvaney, who held a variety of roles in the Trump White House, said Mr. Trump’s chances to get support for a 2024 presidential bid are becoming tarnished by the revelations presented by the Jan. 6 committee investigating the 2021 Capitol riot.

“Is it worth it right now to continue to support Donald Trump in another election when I can vote for Ron Desantis, Mike Pence, Tim Scott, Mike Pompeo, Nikki Haley, and get pretty much the same policies and spirit of fighting for the middle class and the good things you saw with Donald Trump without all the baggage?
